For those that are not involved in the retail business the area of shop shelving and display cabinets could easily be confused as being the same. Both are essentially storage and display items that are used to show off products to customers. However, whilst their role is the same, the requirements that shop owners need from their shop shelving and display cabinets can vary greatly. Here we consider the fur key areas of shop shelving and display cabinets that make them completely different beasts and touch on which option best suits which kind of shop.

Products for sale

The first consideration to take into account when deciding on shop shelving or a display cabinet should always be the products that your shop sells. If you have a shop that sells quite low priced items and that has a high turnover rate then you should be looking for a display solution that offers easy access to products. Where items are priced higher and you sell a lower quantity then display cabinets tend to be the most sensible option. One thing to consider with display cabinets is that they are available with inbuilt lighting; which is a great way of showcasing items.

Considering security

The higher priced your products are the greater impact there is to your business if they are stolen. In order to protect yourself from shoplifters you can continue to use shop shelving in unison with security tags. However, if your items are of great value, such as antiques or jewellery, then you should consider the extra security that display cabinets with locks provide.

A quality solution

The longevity of the display and storage item solution that you are looking to purchase should also be a factor. Display cabinets tend to be built to a higher spec than shop shelving and therefore usually last a lot longer. That isn’t to say that good shop shelving won’t also last the test of time, but the display cabinets do tend to be more durable.

The ever important price

The final factor and possibly the salient one in most cases is the price of shop shelving and display cabinets. Having considered the previous three points it won’t surprise you to learn that display cabinets do on the whole tend to be the more expensive of the two options. This is due to the quality of the materials used and the security features involved. However, the extra outlay is always worth the money if you are selling expensive goods and may even be a necessity for insurance purposes.
